    ever since you guys launched the lf4, which was a bad thing, this game has gone down hill. what you guy did wrong was make it so the only way to get it was to spend an obscene amount of uri to have a CHANCE to get it, theres only 1 sure way to get an lf4 and you can only get 1 lf4 from it, which is the lf4 quest (best quest ever by the way). the fact that you can only get an lf4 from either a kappa, epsilon, or hades gate, and that theres only a pathetic chance to get it (i mean really, when you wont even say the odds, they cant be good) and you spend at least 1200 spins to built it (realistically about 500-700 for hades, but you need 4 good people on the exact same wave to do it means its more like 2000 counting all players) so you spend 120k uri to probably not get something that you need at least 30 of to compete with the wallet warrior, plus the 100k uri each to upgrade them. thats what killed the game. and you know how to fix it? make them available in the shop! or any 100% way to get them thats not obscenely expensive. do that and this game will come back to life, at worst you'll have much happier players
     
  2. Lol, well, at least the half of every server is already UFE, i think the best thing they can make happy the players is the Old Client of the 2013 with less updates = less lag, and not this "DarkOrbit Reloaded" with many updates and alot of lag, is you want to get full Lf-4 you can fight for it, i think with 1,000,000 Uridium in a "Lf-4 Day" you could get a nice amount of Lf-4s.

  5. Over 50% of bigpoint is owned by 3 different names.
    Booty boxes do need a chance increase on lf4 since the only good rate was the first day they released lf4 in booty boxes.And I honestly think that older accounts have a less chance of getting uber items than newer accounts.

    I completely agree, Increase the chance of getting lf4 in booty boxes. Who cares if some WW get 1000 lf4. You can only use the ones on your ship anyways. Also lose the chance aspect of upgrades. every upgrade should be 100%. the cost can very as the upgrade increases, but they all should be 100%. The lf4 rate in Hades and Epsilon could also be better. I have completed at least 50 Hades and only see 1 lf4.
    Why should it be so hard and expensive to build a ship. The money makers in the game are gates, boosters, and uri. Let the players buils ships cheap and fast and your servers will get full fast. Just compare to the Turkey servers. Support is better, dev actually work with the players, uri cost 30% less, they have many more events, and the get better equipment and uri events. All that equals happy players, more money to Big Point and full servers.
     
  7. What killed the game?

    • Their greediness which caused an unbalance on every server existing today
    • Their lack in effort to listen to us
    • The "chances" they give us to obtain anything useful
    • The cost of everything
    • Lf-4
    • Lf-5 ?
    • L A G
    • Dead servers
    • Bots
    • Removing the bots
    • Dumb events
    • UFE
    • Terrible NPC rewards
    • Damage (Seriously, 200k+ damage? Nice, BP)
    *Side note*
    I know plenty of people personally who have played for years and even ever since DO was created and those players aren't even close to UFE and I'm quite sure they have payed well over $5,000. Do we honestly have to pay so much just to have fun with people we like to hang with?

    Yes, from 20k to 200k. There was a good point before - you had to do bks to get prom to be able to fight and now u just send it over night? LAZY! And now I see people around - the only thing they actually do is gates for some x4 and hunting when it should be both ways - PvE and PvP.
     
  9. configs that hit 200k and configs to take dmg from 50 ships hitting you.Game exploded in both directions but problem is there is no center to this formula.Your either too slow, don`t have enough shields or don`t have enough dmg.
     
  10. IMO greed killed this game, thats all :)

  11. And now they're bringing in new ammo, drone formations, and ship designs...
    ...
    Tune in next week to hear about the new company they will be bringing in.

    Tho, it's no wonder why 90% of the responses on DarkOrbit's Facebook page are all a bunch of demands for the opening of a test server, ITS THE ONLY SERVER WE CAN ALL ACTUALLY PLAY ON without being called a hacker or shooting 1/2 as much than the other person... And the sad part is, BP completely ignores the request and has been ignoring it for YEARS...

    Remember guys, "free to play".

  12. A new Company sounds interesting :p ,that from DarkOrbit's Facebook is a liars, the last JPA said will give kappa booster for the ppl of the JPA from May 10 and didn't give the booster, just liars.
     
  13. A new Company sounds like square maps outlay. Some would lose 50% honor for making the switch.
     
  14. This Game has been killed by Bigpoint since they're consequently ignoring Cheaters.

    They let the chasm between players become too deep and uncrossable for a small p2w game.

    Also, the amount of time it takes and or money to play to grow your ship up to a respectable level.
